NBA teams and teammates are pretty close-knit. The basketball buddies even support each other in their thick and thin. This support system becomes invaluable when a player is facing a difficult time because of an injury or problems on the professional and personal front.

This is exactly the support that a New Orleans Pelicans player is getting from his 6’8 tall fellow teammate. He is once again in the news not because of his injuries, but a rumor that could culminate into a controversy. But he’s not new to that.

Zion Williamson grabbing headlines

Zion Williamson made his debut in the NBA in 2019 when New Orleans Pelicans drafted him in the first pick. He impressed fans and analysts throughout his high school and college playing stretch. He has been with the Pelicans throughout his NBA career. But injuries have grounded him for the past two years.

Williamson didn’t play a single match in the entire 2021-2022 season. And since his drafting, he has had surgery on his meniscus and an off-season fracture.

There are other problems that he’s facing, including adult star Moriah Miles alleging that he is a cheater.
